Re: 29' Carter Safari

ya, the nice weather is very modivating! I think we should be good tool wise. BBQ would be fun! talk about that once the boat is on the water.

If there is one thing that I have relied on the most its my depth sounder. If you don't have one I have a humminbird depth alarm you can have, just needs a transducer.
One tip that really works for the wiring, for few bucks I got staples to print up a legal size wiring diagram from the pdf I got from don S, makes Hooking up the wiring much easier

Coming along well...I couldn't imagine the necessary fuel budget though

Re: 29' Carter Safari

if your running 2 engines you can save gas by shutting down one engine and running at hull speed. Make sure that your not in a following sea though and also make sure you lift the outdrive, but thats a good way to save gas
